A Compendium of Cool Comics Cosplay: Kick-Ass Women of Comics Edition

It’s time once again for our Friday comic book cosplay feature, casting the spotlight on the best comics related costumery from the cosplay community. This week is a little different, as we’re presenting our anticipated Kick-Ass Women of Comics theme week, celebrating female characters. We’d like to thank all the cosplayers and photographers who submitted pictures for our enjoyment.

Gamma Squad is committed to giving a voice to the cosplay community that thrives in groups like our friends at TheSuperheroCostumingForum.com. Each week we spotlight our favorite costumes and in addition we also host a regular cosplay contest, with the results forming a special theme week. We invite cosplayers, costumers and photographers to submit pictures of their work that relates to the theme (or any cosplay in general!) to our Flickr group to be considered. We’ll then pick our top choices and post them on Gamma Squad for the adoration of all.

The videogame and comics industries should change the way they draw and portray female characters. Whenever I see sexy cosplay like these, I feel sad–where are the more conservative options for women cosplayers? Not all women want to dress like this.
